105 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 105 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1882 and currently owned by Terence Abney, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water throughout the building, with complaints in October and December 2023, and an emergency water leak issue reported in October 2022 that took several months to address.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, showing both rat activity and violations requiring follow-up inspections in 2022, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have consistently passed. Recent Department of Buildings complaints from April 2025 regarding work without permits and illegal after-hours work were recorded, though inspectors found no violations at the time of inspection. Currently, there are multiple open violations from 2023-2024 that require attention, including issues with bedbug reporting compliance (as of April 2024) and deficiencies in fire retardant materials and paint quality in the public hall areas (from April 2023).

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations were reported for the period 2019-2020, and previous inspections indicated successful eradication efforts. While there have been persistent issues requiring attention, the property has shown some improvements in recent rodent control efforts, with consistent passing results in 2023-2025 inspections. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring, particularly regarding building systems and common area maintenance.
